The Bombay high court on Thursday dismissed a public interest litigation (PIL) seeking strict enforcement of the 75% attendance rule for law students in the colleges affiliated to the University of Mumbai (MU).
MUMBAI:
The court refused to entertain the PIL, highlighting a lack of details to support the petitioner's claims.
The petition, filed by Sharmila Ghuge, an assistant professor at SVKM's Jitendra Chauhan College of Law, highlighted Ordinance 6086 of MU, which mandates a minimum attendance of 75% during lectures, practical sessions, and tutorials for all students. According to the rules, a student with attendance below 75% is not permitted to appear for examinations.
